One weird thing since switching from weed to nicotine: I am hungry and enjoy eating.

Weed affects the area of your brain concerned with digestion, it is used to help anorexics and such sometimes. But I am now fairly certain that it can easily inhibit the natural function of that area. I want to eat, this is not very usual for me.

I like it!Part of it, I think, is I trained myself to enjoy weed more than food. Every time I have fasted, I smoked.

Oh, yeah. There are some studies that show that people who smoke pot regularly have a thinner average than people who don't. It probably has some sort of regulatory function.
